Time To Get Motivated

I am a fifteen year old girl who is a sophomore is high school. Everyday wether I'm walking to school or home, out with my friends, or just going to the store, I see at least fifteen different people that look 100% miserable. I understand that they can be going through more than we can imagine but for this reason alone, I will share some of my favorite motivational quotes that I believe can impact a persons life. 

"Either you run the day or the day runs you." - Jim Rohn
I think this is correct, we all know that just some days we might wake up very late, spill our coffee, break our heel on the way to work every though we did absolutely nothing wrong. But if we choose to ket our morning determine our attitude for the rest of the day you're just going to be more upset so why not let it go and move on so the rest of your day goes smoothly? 

"In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can."Nikos Kazantzakis
This quote is so important to me because i am a strong believer in loving yourself and having self confidence as an important thing in your life because if you don't love and believe in yourself who will? 

"You can do anything but not everything"
This has to be my absolute favorite. A lot of people have the same problem: trying to make everyone happy, and then failing because its impossible. You can do anything you set your mind to but you cannot do everything. You need to focus at one thing at a time in order for you to reach your goal. 

Hope these motivational quotes that I picked out help someone smile today:)

    Everybody has blackheads and its time everyone learns how to get rid of them already! Blackheads occur when pores become clogged. Blackheads are not caused by dirt, meaning scrubbing your face excessively trying to get them out will not help you at all! Scrubbing will only make it worse. You'll only end up drying out your skin and then have two problems on your hand that needs fixing.  The most effective remedies in my opinion is using bentonite clay, it does an amazing job of taking out unnecessary oils. If you have dry skin you might want to just mix the clay with just a little bit of water until it has a thick consistency. If you have oily skin, mixing the clay with apple cider vinegar will do you wonders! Another simple remedy is using lemon and cotton balls, its as simple as it sounds all you have to do is squeeze a whole lemon into a small bowl, dip a cotton ball into it, and apply on your blackheads, the citric acid in lemons will naturally remove them and also tighten your pores. 

DIY acne mask

Do you have acne? No need to worry! Everyone does, or has in the past. Instead of wasting money on facials at expensive spas or buying a $100 acne kit, you can make this inexpensive DIY acne mask that will do your skin wonders. This mask will unclog your pores. It will also clear your blemishes and blackheads and get rid of impurities and toxins out of your skin. It is also very simple and easy and only requires two ingredients:

•  2 tablespoons of bentonite clay
•  2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar              

All you need to do is mix these two ingredients together to get a nice thick face mask. You will need to apply it evenly on your skin and leave it there for 10-20 min and then just wash it off!
I hope this works as much as it worked for me for everyone who tries it

DIY Teeth Whitening

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. According to the (AACD) the thing people want to change most about their smile is the whiteness of their teeth. Are you one of these people? Instead of buying a  teeth whitening kit for $100 or even spending more than that at an appointment you can make your own! I will teach you an easy way to make those teeth pearly white again!




 The first method I really love is baking soda with lemon juice, this combination makes a excellent paste. Just mix these two ingredients together and brush your teeth with it, leave it on for a whole minute then rinse it away and brush your teeth with your everyday toothpaste. Doing this three times a week will definitely help.The baking soda helps remove discoloration of the tooth enamel while the citric acid in the lemon will help process a whitening result! You will have people thinking you paid hundreds just to get that amazing white smile.
